Abstract

Non Smoking area (NSA / KTR) is a room or area that is declared prohibited for smoking or producing, selling, advertising, and / or promoting tobacco products. Cigarettes can have many negative impacts on general health, such as cancer of the mouth, pancreas, bladder, blood (leukemia), and lung cancer and diseases heart. No Smoking Area is regulated in local regulation No. 4 in 2014 which requires schools, offices and health facilities to enforce these local regulations in their environment. This study aimed to determine the Prevalence of Schools, Health Facilities and Offices that have implemented the Smoke-free area policy at Ternate City in 2019. This type of research is quantitative research, using descriptive analytical methods. By using a total sampling of 148 observations consisting of 88 schools (59.5%), 53 offices (35.8%) and 7 (4, 8%) health facilities. The results showed that there were 12 (8.1%) observation sites which were suitable for the implementation of non-smoking areas and there were 136 (91.9%) observation sites which were not suitable for the implementation of the smoke free area. The low level of non-smoking area implementation on the city of Ternate needs to get the attention of policy makers so It is suggested that the importance of the socialization about regional regulation on non-smoking areas and commitment of policy implementers and enforcement of sanctions that can provide a deterrent effect for those who do not impose no smoking area, so that it can reduce the negative impact on public health.
